Description

Who

Morris Habitat for Humanity and the Blitz Home Builders* team* will be leading the 9-day Blitz Build event.

What

A Blitz Build is a concentrated effort to build a house during a radically shortened timeline. The Mine Hill project includes 4 affordable homes – 3 are new construction, one is existing but needs some light rehab work. The Blitz Build event is focused on the 3 new homes.

When

The Blitz will take place from June 6-16, 2018. The build will begin with a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 6, 2018 and will continue for 9 work days. Sunday the 10th will be a rest day. The event will conclude with a dedication of the homes on Saturday, June 16.

Four more families will become homeowners faster and will start their journey towards a brighter future!

It is going to be awe inspiring! It will be incredible to see the walls and roof framing put together within the first few hours of a build. It is magical to see so many people working together on a house at the same time. It is gratifying to look back at the end of the week and see how much has changed in so little time.

For Sponsors, it’s a once in a lifetime team build experience for your employees. You will also benefit from the increased media coverage, social media and connection with the Morris Habitat

*The Blitz Home Builders, BHB, are a traveling group of experienced construction volunteers with various skill levels. BHB was started by a few Honeywell employees who wanted to continue working with Habitat after their annual event ended. They will be bringing about 75 volunteers to the Morris Habitat Blitz Build event.
